The Gardens and Guardian is a well-run assisted living facility with attentive staff who ensure residents' needs are met. The facility offers numerous activities and social opportunities, and residents generally appear happy and content. However, some concerns about cleanliness and understaffing have been noted, particularly in assisting residents who cannot clean up after themselves. The rooms are described as small and hospital-like, but the dining experience is likened to a restaurant with a menu. The facility provides three meals a day, activities, and transportation for outings. During the COVID pandemic, some residents were removed due to concerns, although the staff maintained a positive attitude despite being understaffed. The food quality received mixed reviews. The facility is older, but the rooms are of fair size, and the courtyard is appreciated by residents who enjoy being outdoors. The Guardian House, part of the facility, caters to residents with Alzheimer's and dementia, offering a state-of-the-art monitoring system and call buttons for assistance. While the day staff is praised for their warmth and efficiency, the night shift appears less engaged. Some concerns were raised about the frequency of nurse check-ins, particularly after incidents like falls. Overall, the facility is clean and quiet, with supportive staff who contribute to residents' improved mobility. Suggestions for improvement include expanding food options. The facility is family-operated, and tours have been positively received, with knowledgeable and cordial staff.
